Tyre recommendations

Have to replace mine now and deciding between keeping with the pZero’s or changing to the MPS4s’s.

Michelin has an offer on I believe. Had the MPS4S’s on my previous car and they were good. Not sure how that relates between cars though.

Here's a pic of my Chinese budgets that came with the car when I bought it in February. Don't think they will last past the summer.

So about 3k into the CSC7's and just swapped the tyres round:

Front : Rear

Those tyres look like they're holding up well. Mine just look like they're getting chewed up. Especially the outer tread. When the time comes I'm definitely considering the sport contact 7 when I go to replace them. Pilot sport 5 and asymmetric 6 are likely to be the other options depending on what offers are around at the time.

update,

i mentioned earlier in this thread I thought the Goodyear F1A6s were noisy
put my winter wheels and tyres back on today and the noise is gone.

Dunno if ive got a dodgy tyre or wonky camber but the F1A6s are noisier than my winter tyres!
I've ran winters the last 5 years and it usually been the other way about.

Roughly 10K miles on them and the fronts are almost done. No sign of the camber being out, nice even wear,
Will be looking at Michelin or Contis next - not that impressed with these goodyears

I have PS4S on mine, can be a little noisy on some surfaces but generally comfortable, quiet and grippy. Put around 27k miles on a full set and have 3mm on the fronts and 5mm on the rears. Going to swap them around soon and get some more out of them!

Currently on Goodyear as6 have them swapped around and rears near done. Probably 20k +. Happy enough with them but…  Best offer i see online (Ireland) is AS6 @€152 PS5 @€171 and PS4s @€185. Opinions welcome.

Years ago, a tyre fitter told me that swapping tyres around and putting ones with less thread on the rear is a false economy. As he said when braking at motorway speeds, you need best grip on the rear to stop the car fish tailing. Yes you can swap, as obviously on a front wheel drive car, the fronts with wear faster, but don’t underestimate the need for good grip on the rear, was his tip!

And that he is right, totally different car with worn tyres on back.

If it helps at all, I've just replaced my old Pirelli powergy tyres with another pair. Same tyre that came with the car and I'm happy with their performance.
